    I should be able to order the "legend" and the values for each legend category in a stacked bar chart. This is similar to "series order" feature in Excel

    RE: Custom order for legend

    This would be valuable when showing values that align linearly with the process being measured

    RE: Custom order for legend

    It is weird, that there is no opportunity to change order of legends. In analysis this is very important to show data logically, not chaotically.
    Has this problem been solved?

    RE: Custom order for legend

    This really is a basic charting request. What's the point in stacked bars if they aren't ordered consistently across the stacks? Who wants anything other than that - it should not only be an option, it should be the default.

    RE: Custom order for legend

    This has been a standard built-in feature in Tableau since 2011 at least from my own experience..
